New Canon Powershot SX620 - Various Issues

Hi all, well after shopping to replace my old worn out 7x optical zoom Olympus Stylus 1010, I purchased a new Canon Powershot SX620.  First problem that I could not find in the manual, when I press the PLAYBACK button to look at my pictures I have taken, instead of going to the pics I get a screen that says "Transfer images btwn cameras"and icons of a Camera, Phone, Computer, Printer or Cloud.  How can I get it to go straight to the pics and not assume I want to transfer them somewhere immediately when I am viewing them?

Probably you are pressing a button other than the Playback button?

Are you sure you are not pressing the Wi-Fi button, off the lower-left of the control wheel?

The Playback button is off to the upper-left of the control wheel.

Thanks, you nailed it.  I was pressing the wifi. I looked at so many cameras and many that I looked at have the playback in the lower left from the wheel.

One time I had the pics I took showing, I got a small menu up and down the left side. Not sure how I got that and cannot do it again.  Would you know what that is and how I got it?  All I can get now is the full screen menu when I press "MENU".

I'm thinking perhaps you pressed the Func/Set button in the middle of the rear control wheel, which would bring up the left-margin menu you described.

Hope this helps..!!
